An ant mosaic revisited: dominant ant species disassemble arboreal ant communities but co-occur randomly

The spatial distributions of many tropical arboreal ant species are often arranged in a mosaic such that dominant species have mutually exclusive distributions among trees. These dominant species can also mediate the structure of the rest of the arboreal ant community. Little attention has been paid...
